Saturday snail mail...

These were Nurses' Day cards for our clients who are nurses.

A 'Thinking of You' card for my cousin.  It doesn't look like much in the photo, but better irl; very simple with just the embossed tree and small tag.

And then it got a little out of control.  When I'm not satisfied, I start adding 'just one more thing.'

Yowza...this one had a LOT of just one more things.  :)

This one is a nod to a favorite artist.  It's not nearly as beautiful as Polly Jones' art, but her work does use mixed media, it often has jars, sometimes has a fish or two, and almost always has flowers.  I highly recommend Polly Jones' Etsy shop. 

And, because I let time get away from me this year, a very simple Mother's Day card for my m-i-l.  

Hope everyone reading this has a Happy Mother's Day...or if you aren't in the US, an all around happy...and healthy...day!

Uh-oh...

Look what I forgot to do before I left on Friday afternoon.

"He's dead, he can't talk."

"Whoo-hoo-hoo.  Look who knows so much, heh?"

"Well, it just so happens that your friend is only mostly dead."

 

"There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead."

 

"Mostly dead is slightly alive."

I'm not a big fan of house plants.  They need attention, watering, dusting, feeding, moving...I can live without all that work, when I would rather spend my time reading, sewing, and making cards...the payoff isn't worth the trade-off for me.  Thus, I haven't invested much effort in learning about them.  But peace lilies are smart enough to let people like me know when they need help before it's too late.  Watching them come back from the brink makes me feel a bit like Miracle Max.

I won't be going through this one's clothes looking for loose change any time soon.

postscript:  This is my work plant.  I put up with it for a few reasons.  It makes my desk not look so bare.  It is good for the air quality in the office.  But mostly because I can't read, sew, or make cards during work hours, but it's perfectly acceptable to take care of a plant during work hours.  ;)

post-postscript:  I may not be a big fan of houseplants, but I am a big fan of the movie the above quotes are from.  So extra points for you if you know the movie without clicking the link that takes you to a clip.
